Patrick Cook profited from a terrible oversight by Jamie Brotheridge in a double-edged position. Geoff Davis was outplayed by Kevin Perrin. Peter Miitel overwhelmed Tom Oppenheim and could even afford to drop a piece in the endgame.

Michael Schreenan outplayed No One in a game where both players finished with 10 minutes more than they started with! Jackson Tardrew tried hard against Peter McGrath but inexperience cost him the game. Ryan Logan had the bye.
